WHO WE ARE

Serafim Fertuzinhos is an anonymous society with a 2 million euros social capital and that produces essentially shears and scissors. It’s a family business established in 1958 and began with the production of knifes destined to the Portuguese colonies. With the independence of those countries the company struggles to continue, and that’s when they focus more on the shears production. This change allowed the factory to evolve in a positive way till 1985 when it changes to a limited society. At that time the company had about 70 workers, but the manufacture process was mainly handmade with a lot of costs in men labour.

In mid 90’s, already with a prominent position worldwide and practically the only Portuguese manufacturer of pruning shears, the company evolves to a higher grade of automation of processes.

In 2001 it changes to an anonymous society, with a structure that is maintained till today. In 2007 acquires the company “Artezin” that in the meantime manufactured the same type of products, strengthening the position on the market.
